When you think about it, Mediterranean food is a great cuisine for the on-the-go lifestyle. Okay, so maybe it isn’t the easiest thing to eat rice while walking, but the kebabs, wraps, and general handheld nature of so many dishes make it perfect for the person who doesn't have time to sit down at a restaurant. And that’s part of what makes Halal Bros so great; sure, you could sit and enjoy your meal, but it’s just as enjoyable on the go.

The West Braker Lane establishment in Gracy Woods has become a favorite of area residents, and it’s easy to see why. The food is both affordable and delicious, and there is no shortage of variety. Shawarma, kebabs, gyros, falafel, and more can be found here in a number of variations here. The quick and friendly service turns meals out like clockwork, making this the ideal spot for a quick yet entirely satisfying bite.
